Brooklyn Baby (WLW Version)

Ta-da-da-da-da-da-da

Ta-da-da-da-da-da-da

Da-da-da-da-da-da-da

They say I'm too young to love you

I don't know what I need

They think I don't understand

The freedom land of the '70s

I think I'm too cool to know ya

You say I'm like the ice, I freeze

I'm churnin' out novels like

Beat poetry on amphetamines

I say

I say

Well, my girlfriend's in a band

She plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed

I've got feathers in my hair

I get down to Beat poetry

And my jazz collection's rare

I can play most anything

I'm a Brooklyn baby

I'm a Brooklyn baby

Ta-da-da-da-da-da-da

Ta-da-da-da-da-da-da

Pa-ta-da-da-da-da

Da-ta-da-da-da-da

They say I'm too young to love you

They say I'm too dumb to see

They judge me like a picture book

By the colors, like they forgot to read

I think we're like fire and water

I think we're like the wind and sea

You're burnin' up, I'm coolin' down

You're up, I'm down

You're blind, I see

But I'm free, ooh-ooh

I'm free

Well, my girlfriend's in a band

She plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed

I've got feathers in my hair

I get down to Beat poetry

And my jazz collection's rare

I can play most anything

I'm a Brooklyn baby

I'm a Brooklyn baby

I'm talking about my generation

Talking about that newer nation

And if you don't like it, you can beat it

Beat it, baby

You never liked the way I said it

If you don't get it, then forget it

So I don't have to fuckin' explain it

And my girlfriend's in a band

She plays guitar while I sing Lou Reed

I've got feathers in my hair

I get high on hydroponic weed
